Evidence¶

Topping 1996¶

Topping, K.J. (1996). The effectiveness of peer tutoring in further and higher education: A typology and review of the literature. Higher Education. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00138870

q1 · i? · review · r?

This is the review's own framing statement: it discusses "the theoretical advantages of peer tutoring" and briefly considers school-based research before reviewing higher education studies. The support is the review's theoretical argument, not a measured effect.

"The theoretical advantages of peer tutoring are discussed and the research on peer tutoring in schools briefly considered."
